Overview edit
It reported on popular entertainment, including "sensationalist crime stories", and covered celebrities in sports and show business.[1] Its publisher was newspaper magnate August Scherl,[2] who also owned the Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger, a Berlin paper.[3]
By 1916 Scherl had been bought out by the (politically conservative) Hugenberg Press, and Die Woche came to play a part in the politics of the day, specifically in promoting an image of Paul von Hindenburg as both a military man and a civilian, aiding his appeal across the German population.[1]
A Turkish weekly magazine, Yedigün, was inspired by Die Woche.[4] Between 1993 and 2002, the title Die Woche was used for a completely different kind of weekly newspaper.
